The leaders among them spoke bitterly, "This snow has been falling for several days, and the relief grain was cut off last week! Why haven't they distributed it to us by now?"
"Exactly, we just want the lord to give us an explanation, are we wrong?! Now the natural disaster is approaching, and even with money, it's almost impossible to buy grain, so why hasn't the relief grain that the court should have provided been distributed earlier?"
But before they could finish speaking, the guards unhesitatingly pushed them aside.

In the original book, he embezzled so much relief grain, even the emergency disaster funds and food he swallowed all by himself.
